It
was every family’s worst nightmare. Steven Pellettiere-Swapp found his mom,
Lyndee, unconscious one day. The 45-year-old mother then fell into a coma for
12 heartbreaking days before doctors advised the family to pull the plug.

This
is the kind of decision no family wants to make, but done to honor Lyndee’s
wishes of being an organ donor. Together, Lyndee’s husband, and their son and
daughter, took her off life support.

One
by one, each person said their final goodbyes. Lyndee remembers it all. She
even remembers doctors preparing her family for what would happen.

That’s
when her husband kept whispering something to her. “I need you to fight,” he
said. “I need you to fight.” Lyndee couldn’t move, she couldn’t respond, she
couldn’t talk. But like her husband advised, she fought. The mama fought
through it all.

“I’m
a fighter,” Lyndee managed to say. The family was blown away! Just as they were
saying goodbye to their mama, just after they had pulled the plug, there she
was alive, alert, a fighter.

The
mother made a steady recovery and now she lives to tell the tale about how her
family’s words, her husband’s words revived her.

“Just
because you are not conscious does not mean you cannot hear,” she told CBS 5
Arizona. “So you should talk to your loved ones if you are in that situation.
They hear you.”
